James A. "Jim" Brandt

James Brandt, 73, of Tiffin, passed away Friday morning, August 8, 2025, at The Courtyard at Tiffin.

He was born October 29, 1951, in Tiffin, to Robert G. and Alma (Depinet) Brandt. On January 24, 1970, he married Diana Shuff, and she preceded him in death November 23, 2016.

Survivors include his sons, Jamie (Miranda) Brandt, of Galena and Dr. Jeffrey (Wesley) Sasser-Brandt of Carmel, California; brother, Donald (Stephanie) Brandt of Findlay; sisters, Diane (Joe) Strausbaugh of New Riegel, Rebecca (Jeanise Hoeffel) Brandt of Republic and Lesa (Don) Walter of Fostoria; grandchildren, Kylie Brandt and Jamison Brandt and special friend, Denise Conger.

James was a member of All Saints Parish in New Riegel and a 1969 graduate of Hopewell Loudon High School. He worked at American Standard for nearly 40 years and later retired from Cooper Tire in Findlay. Jim bred, raised and showed Quarter Horses for years. He enjoyed camping, traveling the U.S., especially out west, Mexico and the Caribbean with his wife. Family meant everything to him, as he spent his time coaching his son's little league baseball team, attending the grandkids' sporting events, four-wheeling with the family, and visiting elderly relatives. Jim never met a stranger; he could make friends wherever he went.
